...chief advantages of the gas turbine are its simplicity (it has about 80% fewer working parts than a gas or diesel engine) and its compactness (it is only one-third as large as a comparable reciprocating engine and weighs only one-half to one-tenth as much). The gas turbine is extremely rugged, requires few repairs and runs on almost any liquid or gas fuel...
Into Bombay Harbor last week steamed the Soviet tanker Uzhgorod, loaded with 11,000 tons of high-speed diesel fuel-and with bad news for the West. The Uzhgorod carried the first installment in a 3½-year deal under which India will buy 1,500,000 tons of Russian petroleum products, pay for them in rupees instead of the valuable foreign exchange demanded by Western oil companies. The tanker's arrival marked a milestone in Russia's mounting offensive to drive Western oil companies out of their traditional overseas markets, came just as the battle forced Western...
...Electric Boat, three shifts worked around the clock, and the grim hulls bulged steadily into shape. All the while, their complicated, crowded quarters were worked over and improved.

Into George Washington and Patrick Henry went 300-ton capacity air-conditioning equipment, air scrubbers and precipitants to remove irritants, and oxygen generators to enable the subs to manufacture their own habitable environment.

Loudspeakers and telephones linked the communications HQ with the other ten cars (one boxcar that housed a jeep, two tank cars for water and diesel fuel, seven air-conditioned "quarters cars"-including one with stereo set, radio, TV). When the train stopped, crewmen stepped out and limbered up, but could wander no farther than 150 yards-earshot range. A sharp command from the single "exit-entrance" brought them scrambling back...
